1931' w. D. ANTRIM OVEN BURNER ASSEMBLY Filed April 23, 1930 PatentedFeb. 3, 1931 UNITED STTES oFFica WILLIAM D. ANTRIM, OF GLOUCESTER, NEVJERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO ROBERTS & LIANDER STOVE COMPANY, OF PHILADELPHIA,PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION OF PENN- SYLVANIA OVEN-BURNER ASSEMBLYApplication filed. April 23,

My invention relates to certain improvements in the burner assembly forovens and broilers of gas ranges.

One object of the invention is to provide means for closing the openingin the oven or broiler casing through which the burner pipe extends.

A further object of the invention is to provide means for readilycentering the burner pipe in the oven lining.

These objects I attain in the following manner, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view of sufficient of an oven casing andburner of a gas range to illustrate my invention;

-F Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 22,

Fig. 3 is a face view of a portion of the oven lining;

Fig. 4 is a detached perspective view of an ovein burner and its rearsupporting plate; an

Fig. 5 is a detached perspective view of the clevis piece which holdsthe oven lining in place.

1 is the oven or broiler casing of a gas range which consists of twoouter plates 2-2, an inner plate 3, and a non-conducting filling 4 whichis located in the space between the two plates. 5 is an inner plateforming the lining of the broiler, and 6 is a plate located somedistance from the plate 5, forming a vent channel 7 8 is a ring of sheetmetal flanged at 9 and 10, the flanges being secured to the plates ofthe oven in any suitable manner. The ring 8 forms a rim for the openingthrough which the burner neck extends.

Secured to the outer plates of the oven by means of bolts 11 in thepresent instance is a flanged tapered casting 12, which extends throughthe opening and abuts against a clevis 13, which is made as shown inFigs. 2 and 5. The clevis is slotted at 14: and fits over the projectingportion 15 of the burner neck 16 The lining 5a has an oval openingtherein (Fig. 8) in the present instance and the portion 18 of theclevis 13 is shaped to fit this opening. The recess 19 in the clevis isalso 1930. Serial No. 446,576.

assembled the clevis is held firmly in position by the flange of theburner and the tapered casting 12, and the burner structure is centeredby the clevis which fits the oval opening in the lining of the oven orbroiler.

While I have illustrated the projection and recess in the clevis as ovaland the opening in the lining and the flange of the neck of like shape,the shape of the parts may be modified to any shape other than circular,when it is desired to prevent the parts turning in the oven lining.

I claim 1. The combination in a gas range, of an oven casing having anopening therein; a burner tube; a casting extending into the opening; alining; and a clevis extending through an opening in the lining andclamped between the burner tube and the casting, the

burner being centered in the lining by the clevis.

2. The combination in a gas range, of an oven casing; an inner liningtherefor; an opening for the gas pipe; a casting extending into theopening from the outer side; a burner casting having a tubular neckprovided with a flange; a clevis extending through an opening in thesaid lining and clamped between the flange on the burner neck and thecasting; a burner tube extending through the casting and secured to theburner tube.

3. A clevis piece for closing the opening in the lining of a gas ovenand for holding the inner lining in position, said clevis piece having aslot therein arranged to receive the end of a burner neck and having adepressed portion arranged to receive a flange on said neck, thedepressed port-ion being oval in shape to correspond with the shape ofsaid flange.

4:. The combination in a gas range, of an oven casing having an openingtherein; a lining for the oven having an oval opening;

, lining having an opening; a burner having" a flanged neck; and aslotted clevis located et-Ween the flange and the lining, the. elevis,

being so shaped as to prevent it turning in the lining and preventlngthe burner turning in the clevis. v
